supervisor alioto-pier. supervisor alioto-pier: thank you. i'd like to thank mr.s watts, morris and blaine for being here today and for applying to -- for these positions. mr. watts, i thought that your presentation was very good. but i am at this point, colleagues, going to move mr. morris and mr. blaine to continue the work that they've already started on the appeals board. i'd like to make the suggestion, mr. watts -- actually, i don't know what my colleagues are going to do. but i think one thing we've all learned being here is that, you know, you do it over and over and over and keep. cog -- -- keep coming back. we get to know the people who show up and develop relationships with them because of the testimony that they give and spots open up. but mr. blaine and mr. morris, your work has been exceptional. and you've come very well recommended. chairman campos: we have a motion. supervisor mar? supervisor mar: i'm in support of the motion. i wanted to thank misters morris and blaine and urge mr. watts to keep coming back. and thank you for

i want to acknowledge supervisor alioto-pier. supervisor alioto-pier: i want to think the mayor's office for all the work they have done. really the only comment i want to make is just a clarification that this is about making both the podium accessible and also making it accessible where the court sets. this will enable the board of supervisors to higher people in the clerk's office to sit exactly where she is sitting. i think that is important to make that distinction. president chiu: why don't we turn it over to the mayor's office on disability? >> we have a power point presentation that might help. i wanted to review some of the history and the processes that brought us to this point. not only voting today on the design the would make the podium and the clerk's desk accessible, if we could bring up the document camera and go to the history, there we go. we can take the history slide? next slide? thank you. the earthquake and the renovations that occurred after in city hall triggered access improvements throughout city hall, a

supervisor alioto-pier: thank you. h this item? . debra newman from the budget and legislative analyst's office. this ordinance before you2&m wod amend the city municipal9yq%e%ew article x to establish procedures for late vornh registration and election day voter registration. there is a proposition on the november 2 ballot, which is a charter amendment to establish election day voter registration for municipal elections. that proposed ordinance before you today would actually establish new procedures y2dtim. however, the proposed ordinance before you would only take effect if the san francisco voters approve proposition eç. our report has determined that this legislation does have fiscal impacts based on discussions with the department of elections. it is estimated to cost approximately ÷ $420,000 per exclusively municipal election. zíñit will only be in effect for exclusively municipal elections so that any ballots that have both state and federal candidates for propositions would not be subject toé this. special municipal ele

these are piers and the seawll. -- seawall. they have the potential to reimburse this for the infrastructure improvements. in 2003, it went through a full environmental review, almost 300,000 square feet of general office, parking spaces, a two- level terminal, an excursion deck, and legislation that was consistent with the public trust. and there was a potential for additional units on housing. we have already tried to foster conversations. planning, integration, understanding the future of the park there, and they are excited about their success. the powerpoint is behind us. op-ed -- we need infrastructure improvements to be made for these public facilities. there is the dredging, in working with the maritime director, and we believe that a fair amount of the dredging, especially with the catamarans, might be included in what the port has. the removal of pier 36, construction of the brandon street wharf project, all of that is independently funded that is happening with or without the project, regardless. that is happening. b

pier 50 has not been on our radar screen in the past. so i can't speak to what the appraised value of that facility is. certainly one of the reasons that we've been coming to the board of supervisors and the state legislator is because the public-private partnership model as i said returns benefits to the city as a hole and financial benefits later in the process. i don't know when laettner the process is yet because we don't know the number of races and how long it will go. so we need to figure that out. i'm sorry, i don't know the exact value. >> thank you. thank you. >> supervisor aval orves s. >> this is a question for director moyer. there are questions related to the current leases you have at different piers, especially 3032. what is the revenue that could be lost in terms of the leasees moving out? could you talk about the amount? >> ok. so 3032 and c walnut 330. it's weight listed, which means that some of the activitys that we were using and puting on the pier can no longer be on the pier such as the volley tournament that was

at pier 27. because it is in a secure part of the facility, it is not open to the public, but that will take place on october 6 at 11:00. as you will recall, the port has partnered on this project with the epa, san francisco public utilities commission. we are grateful for all of that and look forward to plugging in the island princess. finally, it is about time to commence fleet week again. it will be from october 7 through october 12. and the fleet week of that does not start until october 7. fleet week is produced by the san francisco fleet week association, which is governed by a board of directors headed by general michael myett. the mission of the association is to honor the dedication and duty and sacrifices of the men and women of the u.s. armed forces and to conduct a training. in new event, senior leaders seminar to discuss military capabilities. search and rescue training by the san francisco fire department. the air show with the blue angels will again be on saturday and sunday, octob

supervisor alioto-pier: i think so. i just wanted to get the idea that it is a joint effort, that the mayor's office is involved, that the conversation that will be taking place -- i do not know if the word is streamlined -- but in the current legislation, that there is a commitment from the board of supervisors and from the mayoral appointment offices, so that the data will contain everything, will be updated regularly together, and we will have all the information in one place. that is basically the objective of this? supervisor chiu: as well as any appointees from other city officials, whether it is city attorney, district attorney, to all be in one database. >> i think you are on the right track with that. we do want to be helpful on this. our challenge will be, currently, our challenge is making sure the department in this to us the status of their vacancy rates. that challenge will also remain, and that is the purpose of the coordination that president chiu is try to get at. there is a challenge, so we need to mak

pier 50 is in a growing community. it is a sizable pier. while it would be great, it would be more difficult. if we can work with the access for pier 50, which does not have public access, that would be great. supervisor mirkarimi: with a value, the downturn, how has it been effected? >> as i said earlier, it is pretty much in negative valley. they had to put twice in in order to get to that. we do not have an appraisal on seawall lot 330, but we would need to do that moving forward. pier 50, it is harder to know what the value of that is. our capital plan calls for approximately about $60 million in needed investment just to continue its current use. that would be shoring up the @. supervisor mirkarimi: what about rehabilitating the piers so that they would not compromise the question or add a eventually that it is not ours anymore. " >> that is a great question. there is another name in the state constitution for the redevelopment area can is owned by an entity. there is a share of the tax increment dollars. receiving the ability to do t

we are losing our piers. this gives us hope that we can start rebuilding the infrastructure in a way it needs to be built. the $150 million investment in port property is nothing we should sneeze at. we would be building cruise ship terminals and a number of other housing developments and piers and births for this particular project. -- and berths for this particular projet. -- project. i would love to know if we could describe the facilities, including the it city facilities. -- including the city facilities. if you would not mind touching on the vision that will include iconic public places, and really the feeling of what this would look like for san franciscans. >> thank you. i am from the office of economic and work-force development. thank you, supervisor. to answer your question specifically about facilities, which covered this in detail in the land use committee. the idea is to take per se 30 and 32 and make them the central site of public engagement. every day, the teams would come down and the public

supervisor alioto-pier. supervisor alioto-pier: thank you. just to clarify, i think i missed a little bit at the beginning. outside counsel for campaign finance and elections will be picked by those two specific ones, so we really only have jurisdiction over mr. marquez's appointment to deal with mayoral succession? >> if there are other appointments, we did not foresee issues at this point, but of the issues we foresee, it is just my oral -- it is just mayoral succession. supervisor alioto-pier: i would like to know how exactly this date was chosen. supervisor campos: if i may, my understanding is that this election is not marquez, but is actually of the office of santa clara county council, as i understand. >> correct. supervisor campos: i think that the chief assistant city attorney talked about this. >> let me summarize this again. i would be happy to. as i mentioned, we have three public entity law offices that we have a reciprocal relationship with -- oakland, san retail county council, and santa clara. we envision those three areas of

it really extends all the way from pier one on the north to the pier 14 breakwater and public access on the south between the embarcadero road way and out into the bay. since entering into the mou, the project has gained some momentum in the last few months. we just hired two consultants teams. for the past few months, port and weta staff have been working with the development teams to provide the concepts that will essentially be used as a starting point for this project. these concepts are the subject of a presentation that jonathan will go through with you. they will be used to inform the stakeholder outreach process that will help shape for design and development of the terminal expansion. key project areas stakeholders that we will be consulting with early in this process starting a little later this week include tenants with long-term these older chips within the project areas such as equity office properties, tenants with shorter term lease interest, releases such as the ferry building tenants, and d port's agriculture building tenants. regulatory agencies. bcdc -- agencies li

supervisor alioto-pier: and i appreciate that and i certainly understand it. i am hearing comments like, "this is the best," and we do not know if it is because you have given us a recommendation for free -- really, one, since it is the one position we have any say over. we have one recommendation. no one else was considered. no other firm was talked to. >> we did consider the two other public law offices. >> and the decision was made that oakland fit more with campaign finance. san detail fit more with elections. so santa clara got mayoral succession. >> it was not exactly that they were the one left over and we needed to allocate in that way, but in terms of looking at fifth, it seemed to make the most sense. also, i know from our work with all these offices that much of their work is bottom up. that is these offices with very good deputies, and they do their work similar to how we do our work, and that his deputies with the subject matter expertise work up the advice, and they do a very careful, thorough, professional job, and it is a bottom of -- bottom-up
